Hi everyone, just finished flashing this rom. 2 questions. 1. Why does my SMS keep on freezing when I press the back button. It freezes the whole phone for a while. 2. Is there a way to get S-Voice on this rom? ( the Android version of siri).

Thanks.

Im on FF18 version and my contacts app and phone app force closes and or won't open from time to time. Is there a fix to this or is this an isolated incident.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Glad to hear that you got it. Always great when people follow up so other can learn. One thing that helped me on another GB device was the paid app GPS Doctor. Small price to pay to actually be able to use the GPS nav and maps.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Not sure why your SMS is freezing. Did you do a full wipe? What kernel are you on? Are you running any other tweaks?

As for S Voice you could go to the S Voice post and download it, push it to your apps directory and see if it works for you.

There are some explicit instruction on using it on this device. Like how to 'wake it up' etc. so read through those posts; all of them.

I played with it a while back on a few other (ICS) ROMs and even stock rooted FF18 and didn't care for it. But that's just me. Like Siri I find it pretty useless; I can manage to do the tasks required way faster that constantly 're-saying' what I mean.

I haven't even bothered trying it on this ROM. Might try it again this weekend but who knows.

Good luck

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
I'm running about the same battery life as his GB ROM, Running ICS v1.5 and Agat v4.3......

The ICS ROM takes a bit more time to settle in and with a few tweaks you should have some really good life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
What kind of tweaks

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Remember I have crappy speeds and signal on 4.3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
Just simple things like turning off vibration, turning off auto brightness and setting your screen brightness down manually. If you can do without the LED flash, turn that off. Make sure accounts that you might have sync are not doing it every hour on the hour, adjust the time frames for that. Also make sure 4G and WiFi are not on in an area that you don't have it or can't use it because they scan all the time draining battery. Etc, etc......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
I actually do all that lol email doesn't sync at all only when I manually let it

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
I have figured out the reason for the drain. Dolphin browser and mini. I restored their settings from GB. I removed their data and the apps themselves. Stock browser is sufficient ATM. Running kuban kernel now. 53% and 1hr 45min on screen time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:

There is no 'location' for beats. It is NOT an application. It is an audio software, essentially a sound equalizer profile that will get used by whatever audio application (and audio for video output) you use.

Wanna flash this on my girlfriend Epic Touch. I rooted and flashed GB Blazer for her a couple of months back. My question is, do I need to do anything to her phone before I flash this ICS Rom(flash a different modem ahead of time etc..)or can i just do the old reboot to recover and do the proper wipes then flash??? Also, we live in Austin. Is there a modem that works best for this area???

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
Just installed the new ICS version...and about 30minutes later my phone lost service, it turned off and when I turned the phone back on the battery was almost completely drained (at 97% before it turned off). What's going on??? I'm running it with FG 31 modem and kernel.

Is this being caused by the FG 31 modem and/or kernel? If so, what other modem/kernel combos have worked well (good battery life) for others?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
This is how I go about flashing ICS:

1. Boot to recovery (EL26 Kernel)

- If your not on EL26 Stock kernel, odin then boot to recovery.

2. Flash Calks format all

3. Flash Rom

4. Flash FF18 modem (or whatever works best for you)

5. Reboot

Ics ics baby. LoL

Be warned, ics is pretty but battery life IMO on any ics rom sux compared to GB.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I always keep the kernel that comes with rom and in this case used FF18 modem. No los. Battery life, well welcome to ics... LoL

Hey Guys,

Been using this ROM for a bit and am used to EL26 CWM. I noticed when I went to back up the other day that I was sitting in AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.2.0. So apparently the recovery is AGAT based but what kernel are we using by default? Is anyone on the latest AGAT kernel [UPDATE][KERNEL][SOURCE] AGAT_v0.4.4 with tREC_v0.2.1 8/12/12 and do we benefit in upgrading to it? I love this ROM BTW!!! Thanks for any input in advance!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] umrico:
Thanks for clarifying abusedcloth. Just to be clear, when you say stock kernel, you mean the one that comes with the OTA latest release (I think 4.0.4)?

Correct FF18 Kernel.

Just used Mobile ODIN to install the .tar version, or download the .zip and install in recovery (of the latest AGAT kernel)

--Sturmie-- I would suggest trying AGAT current Kernel as well to maybe help that battery loss.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:

That one is Sense switcher with the Fancy toggles (still no 4G toggle).

I had to put them together. You can't flash the Sense Switcher and Fancy Toggles separately, they overwrite each other.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think the second one you did is incomplete.

The only two that apply to us are:

ICS - Agat63's Source-Built ACS Recovery Kernel

ICS - Agat63's Repacked ACS Recovery Kernel

You can ignore the second one. It is stock kernel. The first one is kernel built from source. I think the current version is 0.4.4.

Is anybody else's phone rebooting and shutting itself off randomly??? This has been happening for the past month for me...I've had the phone for almost a year without any problems.

I've tried Blazer ICS and GB in stock form...with AGAT kernel...with FG31, FG18, FG20 and EL29. I wipe both caches before switching kernels or modems. I do a complete data wipe before installing the ROM. I even tried installing the Los file from the other thread. Nothing fixes the problem. I'm not doing anything different than I've done in the past, so it's not a user error. Could this be a virus on the phone or something?

I completely unrooted the phone and started from scratch 3 days ago but I still have the same problem. When I re-rooted I restored backed up ROM versions and did an app backup...do you guys think I should start with a clean install completely?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Just so we're clear, this is happening on GB also? I would say it might be the battery. Is this phone less than a year old? If this is happening on other roms, I would say flash stock, take it to Sprint and pay the $35.00 to get a replacement phone. It's close to the price of a new battery and you will know you'll get a working phone as well.

BTW, can you post the link to the thread for LOS please?

Edit: Try removing the battery and check and clean both sets of battery contacts with alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth.

The modem is completely independent of the rom and can be flashed whenever you like. You will have to experiment with modems to see what works best for you. Newer isn't always better. ;)
